MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[dirkfansince1998]

I'm actually quite surprised you feel this way after we've seen Omax, albeit in limited minutes, flash stuff that we see great 2-way wings do. 

OMax is certainly a project, and his ceiling will be limited to how well he will shoot a 3, but he's shown more than DFS had in his first 2 years imo. He's had several just barely missed layups and 3s that would make his counting stats a bit more stomachable. But his defense is as advertised and his ability to handle the ball is something I was very surprised about. 

He hustles like crazy and can move his feet incredibly well. I think that was worth eating Holmes for 2 years.

For people that prefer a longterm approach Omax is everything they could have asked for. For people that think the Mavs are one piece away it's a missing pick that could have been used in a trade for Siakam or whoever else they view as the missing piece.
Personally I am in the first category. To the point where I would rather try to sell Kyrie. Only thing that slows me down in those thoughts is the possible reaction from Luka. Not sure if he is on board with another development season.
